Hey guys, need some desperate help. My ignorance and desire to put some more weight on led me to an stupid and embarrassing situation that I am not even sure could have a negative effect in my endocrine system or body.
I'm 28 and I've been lifting for 8 years already. During these 8 years I've been taking the usual supplementation an amateur would take... protein powders, glutamine, creatine, amino acids, vitamins... After reading an article about test boosters I decided to add some of these products to my diet.
I got some ZMA, Vitrix (Tribulus) and a guy at the supplement store suggested a product called EPISTANE I started taking with the other two. I took this product three times a day till I ran out of it, which it must have been after a month. Since the results taking it were pretty good I went to the store to get some more EPISTANE, but because they ran out of the product they offered me another product called METHYL E which they told me was pretty much the same. I started taking Methyl E the same way I took Epistane (3 times a day). After a month taking the Methyl E I ran out of it and decide to get some more, but this time after getting it I decided to read the directions, which I always do but for an inexplicable reason I didn't do with these products, which said "use only for a period of 30 days ".
After that I stopped taking it. I'm very worried since I'd been taking Methyl E for a month already, and I'd had taken Epistane, which is suppose to be the same product, before for a month too. After these, fist thing I did was look on the internet for these products, which I know I should have done at first, and found out Epistane is an steroid and Methyl E, which has the same composition that Epistane has, must also be an steroid.
I had no idea these products are steroids, that they should have been cycled, that they are liver toxic and that they require PCTs after. I didn't even have any idea what a PCT was before this.
Well, I think It's not worth it to blame myself now for not being smart enough and jumping into taking a product I didn't know anything about. I just want to find solutions... I'm afraid this could mess up my endocrine system for life and have other side effects on my body since I took these products for so long.
I just stopped taking the Methyl E last night after finding out all these. The only thing I remember happened while I was taking EPISTANE was my nose bleeding two or three times which it didn't surprise me since it happens to me often.
I need to know 1) What effects could cause taking these products for so long; 2) What should I do now to get my endocrine system back to normal? I have no idea if I could have messed it up... I read some stuff about PCT and SERMs, but I have no idea if I could find any of these products in the legal market; 3) Was it a good idea suddenly stopping taking Methyl E without having a PCT prepared? 4) Should I take anything for my liver?
If I need to take anything, please!!! Be specific with the products and how to get them... You can tell I don't know much about this.
Please... I need some help!!!
